  1. 1. Forest structure of Dalby Söderskog National Park : patterns of carbon storage in living and dead trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kumetra Achuthan; [2021]
    Keywords : ash dieback disease; deadwood; Dutch elm disease; living tree volume; coarse woody debris; carbon stock and storage; pest invasions; temperate mixed broadleaved forest;

    Abstract : Carbon sequestration and storage is an ecosystem service supplied by forests, and is of increasing importance in the context of mitigation of global climate change. Forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalizations, represent a risk to the efficiency of carbon sequestration as they may greatly reduce the amount of the living biomass in forests.

  3. 2. Changes in the oak (Quercus robur) population in Dalby Söderskog national park 2011–2020 : stem size distribution, spatial distributions, vitality and mortality

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Johan Larsson; [2021]
    Keywords : forest reserve; national park; long-term study; oak; oak regeneration; Quercus robur;

    Abstract : A recent oak (Quercus robur) decline has been noticed and studied in Europe during the last few decades. This decline in combination with failure in natural regeneration could threaten not only oak populations, but also oak-associated species. READ MORE

  4. 3. Amount and distribution of coarse woody debris in Dalby Söderskog national park

    Keywords : Armillaria; species identification; species distribution; DNA techniques; pairing tests;

    Abstract : Armillaria is a genus from the phylum Basidiomycota, which can cause Armillaria root rot disease. Both broadleaves and conifers are hosts for Armillaria. Some Armillaria species are important root and butt rot pathogens, causing mortality and yield reduction in forests. READ MORE
